I think the whole side gate argument is like the Ford/Chevy one.If you’re shooting a lot in one day the side gate gets tiresome. I’ve warmed up to the tube magazine on the Henry’s I have. Especially when it comes time to unload them.

I have heard this a couple of times. Neither of mine has or had issues cycling either, including semi wadcutters. Maybe because I reload?
Some random thoughts:
The Tipman's are about nine pounds, that seem way too much for a .357.
I like these at about 5 pounds:

Much more svelte and appropriately sized for the .357.
I have not had good luck with the Rossi's 92. Some work and some don't. If you fall into the latter category, they are difficult to get serviced. I know there are lots of videos and folks who specialize in slicking them up, but it seem that they should work out of the box.
Newer Marlins seem to be much improved and working well.
The Ruger 77/357 is a great rifle, but expensive.
Henry's have worked well for me with both .44 mags and Specials.
I have a Trapper Handi-rifle and it is great! I wish H&R was still in business.
My .357 dream rifle would be something like the Ruger Deerfield Carbine.
Let us know what you end up choosing.

I paired my gp100 with a 77/357.
I've only had one range trip with the 77, picked it up in March - right as kung flu hit. So I don't have a lot of experience with it but it's well made, accurate, light, quick to reload (flush fitting detachable magazines) and seems it'll be impervious to the elements.
Going to use it as a camp rifle (carbine?).
If I'm going to carry a lever action, might as well be a 45-70 (for me) .
I would like a rossi just for a fun gun but it's not too high on my list.
Henry makes excellent guns, can't go wrong with any.
Jm 1894s are great too.
Although $740 is steep , for me, that Taylors Remington #2 carbine is sweet ! it would be ok for a Vintage Ruger single action too ! Very kewl ! The Rolling blocks are surprisingly strong. No doubt that one would be as strong as any non 1892 style action. Put a tang sight on it and chunk away !Some random thoughts:

Now that's a game getter!!
I bought a Henry Single Shot. It's a bit heavy at just over 7 lbs, but I like it.
I have never regretted purchasing my Marlin 1894C.
Me neither. Pre-Remlin impulse purchase, nowadays with a shotgun scope w/ 50yd parallax. A handy truck gun and even though I don't load very hot, the longer barrel does wonders to .357 ballistic performance.I have never regretted purchasing my Marlin 1894C.
